While pacing, artist Svelte Thys steps on the earth, searching for sensory stimuli that trigger thought. These pacing steps are recorded in sketchbooks, redrawn, conceived, and shaped. While walking she lets herself be overwhelmed by everything that makes life visible, painting in her studio she tries to understand the overwhelming. The studio can therefore be regarded as a place for making true the apotheosis between the polar bear on the earth and the thinking that can be portrayed through painting.
